the best richness to our fruits, our vege-
tables are usually best when bleached OF
kept from the light. SO, also, as we
keep the roots as near the surface as we
can, in order to favor the woody tissue
in trees. we like to let them 60 deep in
vegetables, because this favors sue

No thrifty farmer will permit coarse
weeds, thistles, briars or bushes Of any

able varieties Of vegetation to give place

Many were discovered by acct

the result of patient experiment

Nervous Dyspepsia is a COM
paratively netc disease, growing
out of the conditions Of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal comph-
cation lies chiefly in the disOrd-
cred and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus :-"If we can in

both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filed

from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these {:
